No, Mrs. O
Dissenting from your ideology is not
racist

In the second episode of her new podcast, former first
lady Michelle Obama made some interesting observations about race. Well, not
observations, really. Demented, delusional, hate-filled mindbarf
is more like it, but at a time when liberals are declaring that grammar is
racist and math is imperialistic, what's the difference?
With typical liberal self-absorption, Mrs. Obama
invited an interviewer, National Public Radio's Michele Norris, to be her
guest. That way, Norris could ask her the questions, thereby making the show
about herself. When cued by Norris to provide examples of racial disparities
that are imposed by this supposedly rotten, unjust country of ours, she first
told a preposterous lie about "the fact that a kid, with a small
possession of drugs can be sent to prison for most of his life." If
America is really so terrible, why must she resort to making stuff up? Alas,
the question was not forthcoming.
"We
saw it in the fight for the Affordable Care Act," she continued, defining
racism as disagreement with one of her husband's policies. "We saw it in
just how adamant Mitch McConnell was, and how he treated the first black
president." In today's society, there are few accusations more damaging
than that of racism. There is nothing in the 35-year career of Senate Majority
Leader McConnell to support such a charge. Mrs. Obama leveled it anyway, merely
because the senator, belonging to the opposition party, opposed one of
President Obama's initiatives. That's all it takes.
Then, in a moment of faux-clairvoyance, she decided to
condemn white Americans as a whole. After acknowledging that "there were
signs" that "things had changed" following her husband's
election, she lamented that, "the people that we worked for, whose floors
we cleaned, whose fields of cotton we picked, who we've tried to live next door
to and raise our children with, the people we serve on boards with and sit in
classrooms and got degrees with, that they still don't see us as human."
Of course, Michelle never cleaned anyone's floors or picked anyone's cotton. By
"we", she means all the people of her own race throughout history,
and by "the people" that "don't see us as human," she means
all the people of another race that she casts as the antagonist. Nothing racist
about those grotesque generalizations, mind you. No, Mitch McConnell is the one
who's racist. He opposed Obamacare, you know.
Several
disgusting slanders later, she remarked that she and her husband tried
"representing every American, sometimes at the expense of our own
community, who felt like we were a little bit too accommodating to people who
were not black." Seriously? People were mad that the president accommodated
people of other races? Good thing we had a social justice warrior like Mrs.
Obama around to set them straight. Right, Michelle? Oh, never mind.
As long as liberals are rejecting the plain meanings
of words and equations, it only stands to reason that they now take race and
ideology to be synonymous. After decades of cultivating the prejudicial
dichotomy of black good,white bad, they've redefined those designations so that
black=Marxist and white=American, regardless of the skin color or ethnicity of
those being defined. White Antifa brick-throwing
domestic terrorists are now black, whereas black policemen are not. Members of
the former group are thus allowed to scream racial slurs in the faces of the
latter, with the full-throated approval of Mrs. Obama, who in that same
interview lyingly gushed about "the peaceful
nature of these protests."
If disagreement with her ideology is how she defines
racism, then she must take it as a tautological certainty that she cannot
possibly be racist herself. Ergo, she presumes to lecture America about racism,
while at the same time attributing negative characteristics to all white
people. Of course, by white people, what she really means is all people,
whatever their race, who disagree with her. This disagreement is what makes them
racist, which is what makes her hatred of them anti-racist. Get it?
Mrs. Obama repeatedly stated the need for people to
have "hard conversations," by which she meant they should accuse
others of racism who have done nothing to earn the accusation. She doesn't want
to have hard conversations of her own, mind you. Conversations about rampant
left-wing hatred and bigotry are verboten.
The socialist Democrats have torn their political
lexicon straight from the pages of 1984.
Violence is peace. Crime is justice. Racial hatred is anti-racism. How fitting,
then, that they all swear that Mrs. Obama is just lovely.
